UNSPSC 50351536: Frozen organic gravenstein apples

The variety of organic apples known as organic gravenstein apples that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50351536 Frozen organic gravenstein apples is a Commodity code that does not map to the state and local procurement activity recently posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged with this code solicited broad grocery items, fresh produce assortments, and food supply and distribution services for school nutrition programs, but none explicitly named frozen organic gravenstein apples or any single-variety apple product as a line item. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) issued an IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program with bids due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties including Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, and Honey Crisp with bids due June 26, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) requested bids on over 900 grocery line items with bids due April 29, 2026; and Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued an RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with proposals due March 4, 2026. All solicitations required Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products), HACCP plans, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, and delivery to multiple school sites.

The code shows activity concentrated in school districts and county boards of education across Connecticut, Georgia, and Missouri, with single postings also from the State of Georgia and Early County Board of Education (Georgia). The recent opportunities reflect institutional food procurement at scale—school nutrition programs serving thousands of students daily—rather than specialty produce varieties. None of the nine recent opportunities identified in the source named frozen organic gravenstein apples as a distinct line item or commodity, nor did any solicitation scope frozen organic specialty apple products as a standalone category. The code appears to be a misclassification in state and local procurement systems; the actual buying activity under these postings spans broad grocery and fresh produce categories where individual apple varieties are bundled into larger line-item assortments and delivered on standard wholesale terms with competitive pricing indexed to USDA market reports.
